Application Notes for Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB

Corded Headsets with Avaya one-X® Attendant - Issue 1.0

Abstract

These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to integrate the Plantronics

Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headsets with Avaya one-X® Attendant. Avaya one-X®

Attendant integrates the Plantronics Hub SDK, which enables the integrated call control

features of the Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headsets, including call

answer/end and synchronized mute with Avaya one-X® Attendant. No additional Plantronics

software is required. Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset was connected to

a USB or USB-C port on the desktop PC running Avaya one-X® Attendant. For the

compliance test, the Blackwire 3210 USB monaural headset was verified. The Blackwire

3220 USB Corded Headset is a binaural headset.

Readers should pay attention to Section 2, in particular the scope of testing as outlined in

Section 2.1 as well as the observations noted in Section 2.2, to ensure that their own use cases

are adequately covered by this scope and results.

Information in these Application Notes has been obtained through DevConnect compliance

testing and additional technical discussions. Testing was conducted via the DevConnect

Program at the Avaya Solution and Interoperability Test Lab.

1. Introduction These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to integrate the Plantronics

Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headsets with Avaya one-X® Attendant. Avaya one-X®

Attendant integrates the Plantronics Hub SDK, which enables the integrated call control features

of the Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headsets, including call answer/end and

synchronized mute with Avaya one-X® Attendant. No additional Plantronics software is

required. Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset was connected to a USB or

USB-C port on the desktop PC running Avaya one-X® Attendant. For the compliance test, the

Blackwire 3210 USB monaural headset was verified. The Blackwire 3220 USB Corded Headset

is a binaural headset.

Refer to the appropriate Plantronics documentation listed in Section 10 for additional product

information.

2. General Test Approach and Test Results The interoperability compliance test included feature and serviceability testing. The feature

testing focused on placing calls to and from Avaya one-X® Attendant using the Plantronics

Blackwire 3210 USB Corded Headset and verifying 2-way audio. The type of calls made

included calls to voicemail, to local stations, and to the PSTN.

The serviceability testing focused on verifying the usability of the Blackwire 3210 USB Corded

Headset after restarting the Avaya one-X® Attendant, disconnecting and reconnecting the

headset, and rebooting the PC.

Avaya’s formal testing and Declaration of Conformity is provided only on the headsets/handsets

that carry the Avaya brand or logo. Avaya may conduct testing of non-Avaya headset/handset to

determine interoperability with Avaya phones. However, Avaya does not conduct the testing of

non-Avaya headsets/handsets for: Acoustic Pressure, Safety, Hearing Aid Compliance, EMC

regulations, or any other tests to ensure conformity with safety, audio quality, long-term

reliability or any regulation requirements. As a result, Avaya makes no representations whether a

particular non-Avaya headset will work with Avaya’s telephones or with a different generation

of the same Avaya telephone.

Since there is no industry standard for handset interfaces, different manufacturers utilize

different handset/headset interfaces with their telephones. Therefore, any claim made by a

headset vendor that its product is compatible with Avaya telephones does not equate to a

guarantee that the headset will provide adequate safety protection or audio quality.

Avaya recommends our customers implement Avaya solutions using appropriate security and

encryption capabilities enabled by our products. The testing referenced in these DevConnect

Application Notes included the enablement of supported encryption capabilities in the Avaya

products. Readers should consult the appropriate Avaya product documentation for further

information regarding security and encryption capabilities supported by those Avaya products.

Support for these security and encryption capabilities in any non-Avaya solution component is

the responsibility of each individual vendor. Readers should consult the appropriate vendor-

supplied product documentation for more information regarding those products.

2.1. Interoperability Compliance Testing

All test cases were performed manually. The following features were verified:

Placing calls to the voicemail system. Voice messages were recorded and played back to

verify that the playback volume and recording level were good.

Placing calls to local stations to verify two-way audio.

Placing calls to the PSTN to verify two-way audio.

Answering and terminating calls using the call control button on the Blackwire 3210

headset.

Using the volume control button on the Blackwire 3210 headset to adjust the playback

volume.

Using the mute button on the Blackwire 3210 headset and on one-X Attendant to mute

and un-mute the audio, including verifying that the mute status was accurately reflected

on the headset and one-X Attendant.

For the serviceability testing, the headset was disconnected and reconnected to verify proper

operation. The one-X Attendant application was also restarted for the same purpose. The

desktop PC was also rebooted to verify that one-X Attendant and headset were operational when

the PC came back into service.

2.2. Test Results

All test cases passed with the following observation. The call button LED on the Plantronics

Blackwire 3210 USB Corded Headset does not light when there is an incoming, outgoing, or

active call, but pressing it does answer and terminate a call.

3. Reference Configuration Figure 1 illustrates the test configuration used to verify the Plantronics solution. The

configuration consists of Avaya Aura® Communication Manager running in a virtual

environment with an Avaya G450 Media Gateway providing connectivity to the PSTN via an

ISDN-PRI trunk (not shown). Avaya Aura® Messaging was used as the voicemail system and

Avaya Aura® Media Server was used for media processing. Avaya one-X® Attendant was

installed on a desktop PC running Windows 10. The Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset

was connected to a USB or USB-C port on the desktop PC running Avaya one-X® Attendant.

The Blackwire 3210 USB headset was used for the compliance test.

7. Install Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset

The Plantronics Hub Software should not be installed separately since one-X Attendant already

has the Plantronics Hub SDK integrated. It will automatically be installed during the installation

of one-X Attendant. Note that Plantronics Hub should be running, as indicated in the Windows

taskbar, while one-X Attendant is being used. All that is required is to connect the Blackwire

3210 headset to a USB on the desktop PC running one-X Attendant.

8. Verification Steps This section provides the tests that can be performed to verify proper installation and

configuration of the Plantronics Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset with one-X

Attendant.

1. Start the one-X Attendant application.

2. Place an incoming call to one-X Attendant from any local phone.

3. Answer the call using the call control button on the headset.

4. Verify two-way talk path between the Blackwire 3210 headset and phone.

5. Disconnect the call from the headset using the call control button.

6. Verify that the call is properly disconnected.

9. Conclusion These Application Notes describe the configuration steps required to integrate the Plantronics

Blackwire 3210/3220 USB Corded Headset with Avaya one-X® Attendant. All test cases were

completed with observations noted in Section 2.2.
